Moldivation

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: mole div ay shun

Sentence: After many years in a job where he worked from home, the air quality in his surroundings was suffering from moldivation. When he retired, George told Laura that he hoped to make millions as a moldivational speaker. He knew his witty banter and intellectual view of the world, along with his open-minded tolerance of diverse cultures, shrewd economics, eco-minded spirit and peace-loving nature would make him a media darling and maybe, just maybe, he might end up on Celebrity Jeopardy or Dancing With The Stars. A boy can dream, can't he?

Etymology: mold (the process of becoming mildewed, rotted)& motivation (the psychological feature that arouses an organism to action toward a desired goal)
